Busy Day/Week

Super-Duper busy on this week, particularly monday and wednesday and planning thursday also...

However was quite relac at work...

Especially so relac until I go and volunteer for MORE job from my manager...

Thinking back, I wonder if its the correct thing?

Job-wise, I loved meetings lately. Went for a Intro Meeting with EM today, attendees from my company includes the Executives and Managers, only I'm the one who is still an Officer and somemore, very newbie.

Awkward situation happened, and it was when the 'exchanging-of-namecards' session that people found out that I'm nobody? LOL.

Hey hey, i'm representing the Accounts Dept de lei~

A meeting of 2 hours with both sides, I learnt alot more.More importantly, i received alot of namecards, anyone could be my potential employers/contractors in the future?!

Monday night was rushing for Transport assignment, until 11pm then finished.Tuesday reached home at 11pm due to school, 1am then sleep.Wednesday was rushing for assignments too.The time is 12.30+, and..... Good Nite!

Hired

I quitted my job at KNS in November last year, and have been mass-sending resumes in all directions...Jobstreet, JobsDB, Saturday Strait Time Recruit section...

I have been rejected by most, and some I turned down..

My overall interview and job-finding experiences, Japanese firms has way-more expectations than US or Europe MNCs...

Initially, I hoped to get into a Japanese trading firm, big or small, it doesn't matter..

The prospect is good, and experience is vast, the knowledge is wide.. And good benefits like the standard staff benefits and also, they subsidise ALOT if you gonna enrol in japanese lessons under the company's sponsorship...

My shoulders' slided past Marubeni and Mitsui, but it's alright, another great one comes along to me now.

As of tomorrow, or today (upon confirmation), Im now a proud employee of Mediterranean Shipping Co. working as a Freight Control, we are the second largest shipping firm in the world.

OKOK, first is of course MAERSK line~

Pay wise is acceptable and fair to me, jobscope is a challenging and learning journey for me. Im sure Im gonna enjoy my working experience for this :)

With a stable job, comes a stable income, and also stable repayment of debts.Right now, BB is my biggest creditor, lol~

And the activities and leisure that I have missed since June, hoped to regain it bit by bit with my stable flow of cash and proper time management.

I didn't really mean to MIA from all, but its real depressing to be jobless for a woman as old as me (23 years, fking old la!), so I camped at home all day to restrict spending of what's left little...

Biggest worries done, and I hoped to do these few things soon:- Dining with BB- Belated Birthday fare with Yufen- A good meal with Alvin Ah Ma before he left for New Zealand again

Dramas!

During my months of "rest"period, have been stoning tons of dramas at home:

No. 1 favorite - Fringe

It tells of the mysterious events that happens throughout Boston, and FBI agent Olivia Dunham (lady in the middle) went to recruit MIT drop-out, Peter; and his half-dementia scientist father, Walter Bishop. All bizarre incidents and events seems to revolve around Walter Bishop's scientific research which have been stopped ever since 17 years ago....Currently airing Season 2.

Vampire Diaries

Alright, the vampire-craze goes on forever~Two vampire brothers had a long way back to being 'transformed' into a vampire, and now they are in modern times, falling in love with the high-school girl who looked exactly like the vampire who bitten them 150 years ago...Currently airing Season 1.

福贵门

Loved this drama, even though its quite laggy. Ends at Episode 41, a weird number.

Shining Inheritance

A total korean-idol drama. Protagonist's deceased father left her with a inheritance but her step-mother prevent her from her claims, chased her and her brother (diagnosed with autism) out of the house. Poor girl picked up an old grandmother who fainted in the streets, and she turns out to be the Chairman of the multi-million Beef-Noodle chainstores empire!
